[edit] Curse
can the line in the opening paragraph mentioning the Curse of the Bambino be removed? the phrase itself didn't even gain popularity or notoriety until 1990. how could the 1986 WS spread the legend of the "Curse of the Bambino" four years prior? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 192.223.226.6 (talk • contribs) .
- Per your reasoning, it sounds like it might need to be reworded at least. Assuming the Curse of the Bambino article is accurate, the 1986 World Series was the final straw in the creation of the "curse" concept - but the article makes it pretty clear that the curse wasn't mentioned until after this series so certainly this series didn't spread the idea. Personally, I don't care much for the curse nonsense at all but others will probably want it in this article in some form. —Wknight94 (talk) 15:20, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
- I reworded to say it was cited in the Curse legend to explain why Buckner committed the error. Also removed and rewrote some unnecessary info.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:World Series Logo 1986.png
Image:World Series Logo 1986.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
